There are no Twinkies at WalMart

Was talking to DH, and thought it would be cute if we brought a couple boxes of Hostess stuff to Thanksgiving as our "dessert contribution". I had to stop at 3 places that should have them while I was out - WalMart, CVS and the gas station. WalMart had a big empty shelf where the Twinkies and Chocolate Filled Twinkies used to be. CVS had a lonely honey bun and a bag of powdered mini donuts left. The gas station had a completely empty rack.

At that point it went from a joke to a quest. After 3 more stops, at our local grocery chain, I found what may be the last 2 boxes of regular Twinkies and the last box of chocolate filled. I left the chocolate filled for someone who will better appreciate them, and grabbed a box of regular before someone else could.

I looked to see if the grocery store had ding dongs or twinkles and all they had were two boxes of thie chocolate filled ones. We don't usually get that stuff. The kids seemed excited and ji let them eat one. Lets just say they weren't asking for more.

Bad news folks, looks like all our old favorites will no longer exist! :( I sincerely hope Little Debbie or some other business will buy them & keep us supplied with Ho Ho's & Twinkies! It'd be a shame to see them disappear altogether. :(
